Now I have got time to do another post. Went out lastnight and was rocking a red lippie! Got so many compliments on my lipstick and I thought I would share with you the color I was using.

Presenting Revlon’s Matte lipstick in 006 Really Red.

Its obviously matte as you can tell by the name but it’s not drying as other matte lipsticks would. And I love how deep and rich the red is and it just makes you feel sexy and confident. This red can be worn at a night out and if you’re feeling confident, you can also wear this for work. Personally, I wouldnt mind wearing this to work.

This is from their permanent Matte line and if you havent got this shade, do get this. If you want a perfect application, I suggest you wear a lipbrush to apply this but I did not use one cause applying it normally is fine by me too.

I know I knowwww. I have been gone for so long! My night classes are driving me nuts! Sorry for not having time to update. My exams are finally over now so I’ll try my very best to update my blog daily.

So without further a do, let’s get on to it!

Today ladies, I had a hard time trying to think of the best thing to talk about, I have got some great MAC and SIGMA stuff but are limited editions. So I thought it beats the purpose of talking about it and recommend them to you when you can’t find them anywhere anymore. So I am sticking to products you can still get online or in your local shops.

Today’s lucky thingymajig would be the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains!

I have 4 of them with me. I believe they have 12 colors altogether but they don’t sell all in Brunei, God knows why.

So here they are..

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains

From L to R: 015 Cherish, 045 Romantic, 025 Sweetheart, 050 Precious

From L to R: 050 Precious, 025 Sweetheart, 045 Romantic, 015 Cherish

Revlon has come up with.. Not just a stain but a BALM stain where the color will stay on your lips at the same time it will not be drying as those traditional lip stains. These are lightweight the colors stay for hours.

The packaging is adorable, they look like chubby crayons and it is retractable so no sharpener required gals!

050 Precious: A light beige that appears to be a not very flattering nude for my skin tone.

025 Sweetheart: Love this color a lot. It’s a bright fuschia pink.

045 Romantic: Another fav! A very rich bright red.

I would totally recommend these. Now you don’t need to wear a lip balm first hand before wearing your lipstick. Praise Revlon for coming up with this genius products! The colors are mostly pigmented, some may fall on the sheer side like Precious. But then again, they are FANTABULOUS!

So if you haven’t tried this out, please do. And if you have, tell me what are your thoughts!

I was thinking of what to review today, so i went to see my stash of new products, and this caught my attention.

So this palette it is! This palette is from Pop Beauty and its called Pin Up Pop Palette. Its a very small and slim palette so for those of you who hates bulky packaging then this is for you.

Here you can see how slim the palette is..

This palette holds 12 small sized palettes. The eyeshadows are surprisingly pigmented. This is my first time trying out Pop Beauty Cosmetics and I already want more. Its BND 24.90 for 12 eyeshadows, its so worth it!

The eyeshadows are, as i said, very pigmented and easy to blend. I have to admit, some colours are a bit too chalky for my taste but it is still ok. You can see the swatches right here..

Looking good in the palette. It has a nice mirror too with a magnetic closure so that’s cool.

This palette claims to be perfect for those who are so used to smokey looks or natural colors but willing to try bright colors too. I totally agree. This palette has a wide selection of colors, they’ve got bright blues and greens but you can tone it down by smoking it out with the browns and blacks.

Overall, thumbs up for this palette, especially for the price. If you see this palette around, go buy it, give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

Without further ado, lets get on to more pictures. Here’s part two of my make up collection.

Same drawers as in the last post BUT i spray painted the knobs too to match my pen holders. The two good looking white baskets on top is where i have all of my nail polishes ranging from OPI to Revlon to Etude to Faceshop and not forgetting Manicare.

First two drawers on the left is where i have all of my back ups and on the right side i have all my gel liners, cream shadows, and all bare minerals products.

Second drawer, i have all my face stuff. Concealers and powders mostly.

Nexr drawer, i have MAC blushes, MAC hey sailor blushes that i will never throw away the boxes cause i love them so much, Anna Sui’s blushes, NYX, Too faced and all my lip and cheek stains from Benefit, theBalm and Etude.

It feels so good to be back. It’s the eve of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, and im all alone. My family decided to head to bed early and my boyfriend’s at his uncle’s, so instead of lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling, might as well do a blog post.

So tonight, i feel like doing an updated make up collection. Id add some storage tips if i can remember to talk about them. Please remember that i am not bragging in anyway, i enjoy collecting make up. Most of them are from my own money, and if not, they’re all gifts from family and friends.Lets get on to pictures!

This is how my make up set up look like, same ol’ same ol’.

This is the pink cupboard that i showed in my past post. I may have changed some stuff abit.

On the top of the cupboard, i got a vintage tray thing that i place all my perfumes.

Under the perfumes, ive got 2 separate clear containers where i put all my lotions, body butters, Vaseline, body mist and make up cleansers.

On the next cupboard, on top, that’s where i place all my clean brushes, two antique containers to put my most used earrings and watch.

Under the brushes, theres two more clear containers where i have all my big coastal scents, NYX and manly palette inside. The other container contains all my bb creams, foundations and primers.

Here’s an overview of whats on my make up vanity.

These are two pen holders that i spray painted pink and glued huge flowers on to make them look nicer. Inside one of them, i have all my eyeliners from various brands and milk jumbo pencils. In the other, i have all mu Urban Decay primer potions in different shades and Too Faced Glitter Glue.

Here i have my most used brushes.Most of them are from Sigma and MAC

Next, here is where i have all my new palettes that i need to try/use. I just place them in letter holders. They fit there perfectly. Oh and at the back is my trusty ol mirror that i adore.

Here’s the palettes that I need to try out. Just incase you cant see them in the previous photo.

On the top shelf is where i have perfume sets that i got as gifts, boxes of hairbands and things like that. The shelf at the bottom is where I have all my lip stuff. All from lipsticks to lip balms to lip glosses!

In this acrylic lipstick holder, i have all my NYX round lipsticks, a mirror from Holika Holika and burts bees lipbalms in a tin can.

Next, in this picture, ive got two sizes of acrylic lipstick holders, the tall one at the back holds all my MAC lipsticks and the three smaller ones in front are all my other lipsticks from various brands.

And here is where i have all my lip glosses. The two smaller glasses are actually candle holders that im already done with so that’s a nice tip if you want something fancy yet budget-able.

How are you all today? Now its time for the post that I’ve been promising to update which you can already see by the title, TheBalm Cosmetics Part 2. Lets get into it!

TheBalm Goodies

As you can see here, first we have the Balm Shelter. Balm Shelter is a tinted moisturizer. And as you all know, most tinted moisturizer would give light to medium coverage, enough to blend out our skin tones and hide blemishes.

I got the shade in Medium, its a tar bit dark for my NW20 skin tone but I don’t mind it at all.

It comes in a tube so you squeeze the product out. I like that.

The downside of this product is that it doesn’t have a lot of shade range. They only have 3, which is light, light/medium and medium. But then again, it does what its supposed to do so i love this.

Next,

Meet Matte

Meet Matte So this is how they look like on their pans

Now all these shadows are matte. But some, for me, are more of a satin finish. I like how its more of a satin finish because it is easier to work with than matte shadows.

Overall, good eye shadows. If you’re tired of your shimmery, glittery shadows and you don’t wanna look so over the top then this is for you. Personally, i love matte eye shadows. It’s good for an everyday look, especially for work or school, you just cant go wrong with this.

And the last but not least is..

Nudetude Palette

Nudetude Palette – Naughty Version

I know they have a “Nice” Version of this palette. The only difference is the packaging, but all the shadows are 100% the same. I personally love the naughty version cause its just too damn adorable! I love it!

But here’s a picture that I got off Google, for you to see the comparison.

Lets look at the swatches,

As you can see, this has a better selection of mix finishes. So if you’re traveling and you don’t wanna bring so much make up with you then you cant go wrong with this. This has better selections than Meet Matte. You can do a day and night look with this. I really recommend this if you’re on a budget and you just want to get either one.

And also, both palettes come with small brushes as you can see by the photos. I don’t like brushes that comes with the palettes. I cant work with them cause they’re just too stiff. But I don’t mind that at all, cause for me, the products that matters.

So overall, I love everything that I bought from TheBalm Cosmetics. They are comparable with MAC, Benefit or even Urban Decay eye shadows. Again, I’ll say this, TheBalm Cosmetics don’t get the hype that they deserve. Try them out and you’ll not regret.

I was gonna go to bed but I decided to do one blog post before I head to dreamland.

And no, this isn’t TheBalm Cosmetics part 2 yet, as you can see by the title above, it’s gonna be a short random post about fake lashes.

For you my bruneian gals, you must have seen people selling fake lashes here that costs $4 each pair right? You know the ones that’s in this kind of boxes.

Not the exact same box though but you get it. It’s so expensive here, whats more is they sell them individually (one pair). But when I saw this in Miri, I had to ask the salesgirl if RM 15.90 was for each pair or one box, and when she said the whole box retails for that price I immediately grabbed one for myself.

10 pairs of lashes for RM 15.90, I cannot pass that up.

They’re good quality lashes and they do look natural on but they dont come with a lash glue, which isnt a problem for me cause I prefer using my own anyway.

So if you do see this around Miri or wherever, dont forget to grab one or two, you’ll always need fake lashes for god knows what.
